Turok 2: Seeds of Evil [DX11]





3D Vision and geo-11 fix for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. It's only for the remaster running in DX11 mode, not for the original game. Tested with ingame version 1.5.9, GOG version 1.5.9.1.

Update (2023-12-17): updated geo-11 to build v0.6.182. Autoconvergence disabled, so it's back to static convergence.
Update (2022-11-12): added geo-11 fix, with build v0.6.78. Improved screen space reflections fix. Autoconvergence configured (although not totally useful for a first person game).
Update (2022-06-02): fixed SSAO (both settings, but not SAO which is a different thing), fixed motion blur, and improved dynamic crosshair and HUD performance a lot (now I don't give an option for the number of samples because 200 are enough).


Fixed
- Stereoized bloom and similar effects thanks to a profile setting change.
- Deferred shadows.
- Deferred decals.
- Lighting.
- Screen space reflections.
- SSAO.
- Motion blur.
- Transparent enemies.
- Skybox at more depth.
- Weapon convergence (customizable with a hotkey), also for weapon scopes. Warning: mods that change weapon textures are not supported for this modification, because it's done by texture.
- Sun rays ("light scatter" ingame) and the sun itself.
- Water refraction and reflections.
- The fix includes a dynamic crosshair (and hints) and/or HUD feature, and also a colorblind mode for the crosshair.


Known issues
- The weapon convergence mod affects some models in the model viewer menu in the options. Easily fixable by using the weapon convergence hotkey temporarily to go back to the original value.


Installation
- geo-11 (newer, with build v0.6.182): download this file and extract its contents in the "Turok2 EX" folder, where "horus_x64.exe" is. Remember to edit "d3dxdm.ini" to change your "direct_mode" to the output you need. It's sbs by default. For 3D Vision monitors, sadly none of the nvidia modes work. You would have to use the 3D Vision fix (you can add the ShaderFixes content of the geo-11 fix to it) or set "force_stereo=0" in the geo-11 fix (this may be better).
- 3D Vision (older): download this file and extract its contents in the "Turok2 EX" folder, where "horus_x64.exe" is.
- Launch the game and let it overwrite the profile.


Hotkeys
F1: convergence presets (0, 8, 18, 27, 50). 18 by default.
F2: HUD depth presets. Screen depth by default, except crosshairs, which have dynamic depth by default.
F3: HUD toggle. Not disabled by default.
F4: dynamic crosshair presets. By default only the crosshair and hints have dynamic depth, but pressing this will enable it for the HUD too (by screen center or by vertex) or disable it for everything. Whatever isn't dynamic can be used alongside the F2 and F3 hotkeys. I recommend not touching this hotkey.
p: crosshair size presets (x2, x3, x4, x1). Not modified by default. The game doesn't scale the crosshair when you use a high resolution, so I made these multipliers to make it easier to see.
m: weapon convergence presets (0, 4, 8, 12.5, 16, 20, 24). Default is 12.5, which looks like the most realistic. This can change the size appearance of weapons.
k: ground screen space reflections distance presets. The game by default reflects things that are up to a set distance, let's call it 128 (number used in a shader). This key also gives the option for 256, 512, 1024 and 2048. Higher distance also means more GPU usage.
i: colorblind crosshair mode. It makes red crosshairs bright green and more opaque (I couldn't change it to blue), which is at least easier for me to see especially in combination with the "p" hotkey.
